NHLGamers, We're here to officially kick off the ECL 12 regular season with the start of our Neo division, which will be happening as announced on Sunday, the 25th of April. Our Neo division is the entry level of competitive virtual hockey and with that holds a vast amount of undiscovered and unpolished talent, in fact 90 registered teams worth of that. Now due to preserving the original intention of having ECL Neo be the true entry level, we have decided to place a total of 25 teams that originally applied for ECL 12 Neo into the ECL 12 Core division - please see a full list of those teams below: After placing those teams up a level, we end up with a total of 65 teams in the Neo division. These teams have been seeded and divided into six groups, holding 10-11 teams each. The five best teams out of each group will reach the playoffs along with the two best 6th placing teams across the division (based on PPG). All groups and league info can be found on the league page. The default gamedays for ECL 12 Neo will be Sunday & Wednesday at 20:00 CEST and teams are required to contact each other prior to the scheduled date as per ECL rules. The full rulebook will be available for access through the league page and will be released on Sunday, 25th of April. Notable dates for the ECL 12 Neo season: Regular season: 25.4-26.5 Transfer deadline: 13.5. 23:59 CEST Playoffs Round 1: 30.5-2.6 (BO5) Playoffs Round 2: 6.6-9.6 (BO5) Quarterfinals: 13.6-16.6 Semifinals: 20.6-23.6 Finals: 4.7 The remaining ECL 12 divisions will be starting as announced in the ECL 12 Season Information-article back in mid-March.
